Description

My first attempt at imaging and processing a comet, captured under a 97% illuminated Moon only about 40 degrees apart. But given the Danish weather you just have to take the opportunities you get, not least with transient objects like this. The data really suffers from the bright Moon, so the processing was a bitch. The end result is probably not great, but you can see it's a comet, and (with a little good will) you can just about make out the tail.
